The one thing that scares me about buying this pass is what the availability is. This isn't just "walk-up and as long as theres a seat your on," it says there are limited seats. So exactly how limited I wonder?

I agree with the above.
The thing is, this is just a short-term revenue generator. $250 for flying all summer? I don't know... . We'll see how they benefit from this in the near future...

I sure wish I was still a student - eligible for this fare and time to travel...What a fun way to spend the summer!
Why not pack a bag, show up at the airport, and do a mystery trip? I bet you'll disccover some places you never imagined. Also, this could be a great way to get to a gateway... e.g. - Miami to fly to South America for cheap.
Have fun!

My husband just went back to college, and unfortunately, he has a birthday early in April, so he just missed the cutoff. The limit on days makes it not really worthwhile for him. He switched jobs in December, so he's without vacation until then, so he's limited to weekend only trips for now.
